– Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt took to Twitter to complain about being benched during the Week 2 overtime loss to the Houston Texans. Back when I complained about my job on Twitter, I at least had the good sense to have my then-protected account under an alias as not to make awkward around the coffee machine in the morning. Cannot imagine how uncomfortable it must be around the Gatorade-and-Toradol cart today.

– Instead of using Twitter, you can also loudly complain about your job directly to your supervisor with tens of thousands of people watching, which is exactly what Steelers receiver Antonio Brown did when he confronted offensive coordinator Todd Haley on the sidelines during Monday night’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals when he felt not enough pass plays were being called his way. Ever question your boss with anyone else in the room, much less an entire stadium? It’s going to be a long week for the two of them heading into Sunday night’s matchup against the Chicago Bears. Brown should have saved his complaints for his personal burn book.

– Robert Griffin III disclosed today that players for the Washington Skincolors have been advised by the team not to speak on the topic of the team name. RG III also stated, “I’m not native American. I’m sure I have a little bit of blood in me .. But we’re not at that authority to know what to do in that.” Let’s hope for his sake he meant he had a little blood orange in him from breakfast and not that he might be part-Native American without being 100% sure about his heritage since Washington has already run into trouble by presenting fraudulent chiefs.

– Fans reportedly bought out RG III’s wedding registry at Bed Bath and Beyond, but if you look at the registry there are still quite a number of items still listed as needed, so either RG III is big on hyperbole or if the couple is adding new items to their wish list. (Or perhaps in a fit of sanity, fans are canceling their orders.)

Thank you to the Fans who are helping buy ALL the items from our wedding registry at Bed Bath & Beyond … say.ly/MLw5Rbg

Of course this led to a lot of present-shaming and calls for the Washington quarterback donate all the gifts to charity, an idea the bridegroom was not too fond of. No word if our own Unsilent bought him the KitchenAid stand mixer or the dehydrator so Griffin can make his own beef jerky and fruit leather.

– Dwight Freeney signed a two-year $8.75 million contract with the Chargers. According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Freeney wanted to “wanted to play with a quality quarterback who could build leads — more fertile ground for sack totals.” Just a hunch, but a good $250,000 of that deal might have come from Rivers himself for the positive soundbite.

– Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson looks like he’s in the clear for criminal charges relating to an altercation at his home last December, but the civil suit lives on. Elsewhere in Cleveland, the former Cleveland Browns Stadium is changing its signage to reflect its new name, First Energy Stadium.

– Texans Mario Williams and his former fiancee meet with a mediator for three hours on Friday and failed to come to an agreement over a $785,000 10.04 carat diamond engagement ring he believes she should return to him. What does this have to do with football, other than Williams’s ex alleges he’s mental unstable? Not much, but I’m including it in the wrap-up for all of you lovely people who keep writing into the mailbag worried you’re not buying a big enough ring and asking how much money is too much money to spend on a ring. Let this story be a warning to you; don’t focus so much on the ring.

More than 125,000 people were on hand for the event held in the stadium that Long famously championed. Two massive expansions under the former governor’s watch had brought the seating capacity to more than 40,000. The raw numbers on the 1940 inaugural feast were also impressively huge:

1,000 beef cattle

3,000 pounds of barbecue sauce

130,000 buns

5,000 gallons of lemonade

Goodness. Gives us all something to aspire to this upcoming holiday weekend.

Last night in a stunning upset, Washington fans cheered for a courtside Robert Griffin III just as their beloved Wizards doubled their wins for the season to reach a remarkable 2-13 record for the season.

The Wizards are set up to beat the Heat, and fans are chanting “RGIII”. No love for the Wiz.

Tweets like the above are what make the internet, mobile technology and sports so great. When this was posted on my feed last night, I could share it with my dining companions and have a good laugh about how terrible it must be to be a Washington sports fans when you’re cheering for your .500 record quarterback (albeit a .500 quarterback who is going to rough up the rival Giants and Cowboys for years to come) over your .133 basketball team.
